I mean you can just swipe if it’s not your jam. I think this is a great idea.

Im running my 2015 mbp on the newest macOS and it’s still quite okay.

Nothing to see here

Bit late for surge pricing concerns

The dumb ones last forever though. My parents are still running the tv my aunt deemed too big in 2008ish, which she must’ve been owning for a few years at that point.

I feel like this isn’t talked about enough. Sure

just use Firefox

But for how long is it gonna work that way until they too deprecate v2

Yeah it would’ve been like that for pcs too if they weren’t around for quite longer.

this. It’s the same as with phones, just more obvious because they(Alexa devices) can’t do most of the other stuff you can do on a smartphone.

And because it might not be that legal or ethical or a good look to customers, they‘d rather not disclose it and hide the revenue partly through their „normal“ ad business or other venues. But that’s just my guess.

Enshittification is a pattern where online services and products experience a decline in quality over time. It is observed as platforms transition through several stages: initially offering high-quality services to attract users, then shifting to favor business customers to increase profitability, and finally focusing on maximizing profits for shareholders at the expense of both users and business customers. #

Paid by everybodies taxes™️

And the Ux is really good too. I mean it never gets in your way, is very stable and really easy and intuitive to use. Also the payment options are so straight forward and transparent. No „one month free then 20% discount for the next 5 months“ bullshit and you can pay by mail and crypto if you wanna really stay anonymous. This reads like an ad I know, but it’s just really good.

Enshittification? ✔️

Fedora and bluefin have been working quite well for me.

I rembember adding an extra / to dev when using dd. I think I still haven’t fixed that system.

Yeah, I’ve been exclusively using Firefox dev edition for the last 2-3 ys. I can’t remember one site not functioning properly apart from the odd visual bug from time to time.
